Imo ...

Suzuki and Caufield need a big body to create openings and opportunities. That's Anderson.

Kk, Drouin, and Hoffman all need sheltering. Put them together for the lion's share of offensive starts.

Put Evans with Gallagher and Toffoli for an all-purpose line, and give KK some shifts with them for more of an offensive tilt, since he doesn't kill penalties.

That leaves Lehkonen, Paquette(/Poehling), and Armia for a 4th line.

If Montreal does pick up another top 9 center, Evans (and KK if it's a better fit), can be bumped down a line.

Bozak would probably be a serviceable option for the 3rd line. Bumping Evans to the 4th.

Totally agree with that line up, That is If Bozak can be signed for 3 years max.
The only thing, i haven't heard any rumors about Bozak coming in Montreal. Did you ?

Anderson and Drouin played very well together for some time last year so that'S good
Also When playing teams strong defensive teams like Islanders which requires winning puck battles, I would swap Lehkonen with Caufield on 1st
